[28 sept] [star wars] silenced
Title: Silenced
Theme: Lady Madonna
Series: Star Wars
Character: Anakin, Shmi
Rating: G
If Shmi isn't a Lady Madonna, I don't know who is.
No one wanted to hear about this mother. Some of his classmates snickered, some of them hid their amusement, and all thought him ridiculous for missing her. "Baby," they called him, and after that Anakin never mentioned her to them again. His teachers seemed an unlikely audience, and indeed, when he mentioned her, they told him gently that it was better to forget her altogether. He could not imagine telling Master Obi-Wan anything, even if he were around to hear it.
There was no one else in Anakin's life.
So when he missed her, which was always, he wrote her letters he could not send. He wrote about the spare parts he was covertly collecting for his next (undecided) project, about all the strange things he saw in Coruscant, about the progress he was making in his classes. It was all about him, but what he really wanted was to know how she was.
